Chronic pain and depression live with me not the other way around!

We've been talking about buying glass that would fit the top of the bench for years! But, if you follow my blog, seen many of my decorating posts, I like to reuse, repurpose and craft my way to a solution. Especially when it's 'easy breezy'.

This old frame had been sitting in one of the closets for a couple of years. I just removed the matte, cleaned the glass and done!

When my husband saw it this morning, he replied, "I like it"! I do too!

So, let me get this straight. One wears flats and they're turned away from the Cannes events? Wow! Who knew.

May 21st is #RedNoseDay! Purchase a red nose at Walgreens and funds go towards charity! I love this idea!

I make sure to wash and dry thrift shop clothes items but now I better be washing all new purchases from now on! Yikes!

These days, there are more options for brides, when it comes to wedding gowns. One can rent or purchased used. I definitely think it's a great idea. One can now afford a high end dress from Rent The Runway for an affordable price! Happy shopping!

The pinched nerve, in my neck, has been progressively gotten worse so today, I'm taking a day off! It's a gloomy day, in our neck of the woods but I decided to watch loads of "Gilmore Girls", on Netflix and eat junk food!

Red Nose Day is a campaign dedicated to raising money for children and young people living in poverty by simply having fun and making people laugh. The inaugural Red Nose Day will be held in the US on May 21st, 2015. People across the country will come together to have fun and raise funds and awareness. The day’s events will culminate in a three-hour entertainment TV special on NBC featuring the country’s favorite comedians, musicians and Hollywood stars—it’s a show not to be missed!

So let's head to our local Walgreens, purchase our Red Nose for just a $1 and join the #RedNoseClub!

I've been admiring the many Etsy painted symbols that are on sale but didn't want to pay $20+. So when my husband and I were at our favorite Target store, picking up prescriptions, I decided to a stroll through their craft aisle.

What a pleasant surprise when I saw unpainted wooden letters, numbers and symbols for sale.

The @ was only $4.99 and Robin Egg paint was $1.99. I had a cream white wide ribbon at home that would round out this project!

I love how it turned out. And who knows, I might purchase additional letters for other decorating projects.
